Therefore, this tire is not much suitable on icy roads.īFG KM3 has less wide grooves which reduces its efficiency on soft snow.ĭue to its lower void ratio this tire struggles in snowy conditions.
GOODYEAR KEVLAR MTR PATCH
However, in the ice, the greater contact patch lowers the tire grip and makes the tire more slippery. The wider grooves of this tire efficiently grab soft snow and throw it backward, granting maximum snow traction. Goodyear MTR offers an inventive tread design for extreme off-road performance. The grooves of this tire may get stuck into the deep mud as it lacks in the process of biting and throwing an adequate amount of mud and slush backwards, comparatively.īut still it can move on mud as it is a mud terrain tire specially built to deal with such conditions. The BF Goodrich KM3 comes with a lower void ratio and less wide grooves as compared to its counterpart. The well-grooved shoulders also participate to give efficient traction as they allow the steady passing of mud through them. This tire comes with wider grooves and well-spaced tread blocks which provides several biting edges to bite mud and throw it backward, allowing the smooth movement of the tire. The higher void ratio of Goodyear MTR allows maximum traction in muddy conditions. This tire due to its lower void ratio lacks behind its competitor but still it performs good due to its wide grooves and it also delivers excellent resistivity against hydroplaning. Therefore, its grip on dry roads is increased, making it a better choice in such conditions. The highly developed sipes and advanced silica rubber increases the capability of this tire on wet roads and offers excellent hydroplaning resistance as well.īFG KM3 possesses a lower void ratio and narrower grooves comparatively which results in a greater contact patch with the road. However, the wider grooves of this tire promise excellent traction in wet conditions as they wipe away water more efficiently. The reduced grip and increased braking distance make this tire less effective in on-road dry conditions. Goodyear MTR features a higher void ratio and lower contact patch with the road. Moreover, a Krawl-Trek compound, CoreGuard Max technology and liner flex zone are also installed in this tire. The stone ejectors are comparatively not much efficient in their function. It offers comparatively narrower grooves and less efficient sipes.Īlso, it has mud-phobic bars with traction-armor sidewalls. This tire has a greater contact patch and a stronger grip on the road.
With any luck I'll be doing a 10 day trip out west the week after I get the tyres so I'll let you know how they fare.BF Goodrich KM3, on the other hand, features a terrain attack tread pattern with massive tread blocks.
Now I'm as cynical as the next bloke, so i'm not sure if I should believe that. The reason given for this was they were selling like hotcakes. He bases this on what he gets in for repairs (Or not so repairable as the case may be) Remember this is FNQ where some of our good roads rate as "urgent repair needed" if they were anywhere else.Īfter all that I ordered a set of Silent Armour to be told that there is a three week wait. In low load ratings admittedly, but even so.įor what's it worth the bloke made the comment that he has found the US made tyres to be a superior construction to anything else (SA and MTR are US) we found some allegedly 4WD tyres have sidewalls as thin and flexible as small passenger car tyres. This is actually an interesting excercise. MTR is 3 ply sidewall and SA is 2 ply as someone has already stated, BUT the sidewalls in the SA are still significantly heavier than anything else we could find in the place including Cooper ST Monday, at 08:01I've been going through the same excercise so I had a look at MTR and Silent Armour side by side at the Tyre place.
